People are bickering, etc. because money is being lost.
Also because it's not as easy to make money in the
market as it used to be on those days when throwing
a dart at a pile of stocks would yield several instant
points on the long side. Further, the volatility is so
great that it's hard to ride the market direction the
right way each day unless you're literally glued to your
computer. Very frustrating.

Frustration breeds bickering.

The bull/bear thing is also wild,imo.

Obviously buying puts and playing the short side is
warranted when the market conditions are right. But
there is something fundamentally disturbing about the
militant bears who almost seem to cheer the destruction
of our economy. So too, the eyes wide shut type of bulls
who were buying PCLN at the top because some ANALyst
reiterated the strong buy.

I try to be more balanced than that....and
engage in as much frustration reduction behavior
as possible<g>
